I am currently running Android AOKP 4.2.2 and I noticed, anytime I save a folder which has an .OBB file, the game doesn't recognize it. Another issue I was having and I thought I was going crazy but I guess it's an issue with the Phone/ROM, is that after certain time, the folder itself would disappear and the game would still be installed.
I downloaded Crazy Taxi and Monopoly Millionaire and neither of the games recognizes the OBB folder in my SD card.
Current location: Internal Storage\Android\Obb\GAME FOLDER WITH OBB
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Are these games that you got legitimately? Because if these are games you pirated, we can't help you.

Due to constantly flashing new Roms.. I'm always having to restart from the beginning.. Very frustrating!! I just want to know if there's a way to save my progress in the SD card...
If the game is on your sdcard, move it to the phone. Then look in: /data/data/ and locate the folder for the game. There should be a folder called shared_prefs with xml files that store the game data. They also may be stored in a db which you would also want to back up.
A simpler solution may be to download titanium backup to save the game data, available on the market.
Never played the game so this is an educated guess.
.. I just downloaded the game and it looks like the files you want to backup are in:
/data/data/com.gamevil.zenodia2/files
I would copy the save.dat files along with the other files in there
does titanium backup not save your game? saves mine
i tried going back to stock earlier. i backed up all the contents of my sdcard to my pc using adb pull. i have successfully returned to stock and as i was trying to restore my sdcard, i can't seem to find the right place to put the obb files of my games. where exactly do i have to put it? /sdcard/Android/obb or /data/media/obb or somewhere else? i tried putting it to those two but some games like asphalt won't load i can't afford to download the game right now for out internet connection nowadays is ****ty.
Hi!
First, I would like to thank all the forum members. I managed to root my Galaxy Ace 2 easily and I learned how to use Directory Bind to play my games without any memory limitations!
But Modern Combat 4 can't be downloaded, and I don't know why. When I try to download the game from the Google Play Store, a 498 error notification appears. Apparently, the 498 error indicates that there isn't enough memory available on the phone. It seems that Google Play Store also downloads the .obb files (the big files) directly, not only the little .apk file. Where does Google Play download the .obb files? I know that the .apk files are downloaded in the /cache folder, but no clue about the .obb files.If I knew the .obb download folder, I would be able to create a symlink, directing them to my SD Card (Class 10). I also read about the /cache partition size. If the .obb files are downloaded in the /cache partition, is there any way of extending it?
Thanks!
Just get the apk and data from apkmania

It is better to use swap rather than directory bin. Actually I never use directory bin because swap itself already convenient
The process of swap is only root -> copy the modified vold.fstab to /etc via root explorer or other explorers -> make it read only -> reboot
But please make sure that vold.fstab is for your current os because vold.fstab for gb and jb are different
To know whether you are successful or not is by looking on the usb storage, it should shown your sd card capacity

I finally fixed the issue swaping the internal and external SD partitions. Thanks for your help!
I've put a game file on the M8. i dont have the game in my region so i used an apk and obb. The obb folder is shown empty after i try to play the game and check it. Games' files disappear, although still consuming space in the internal memory. I have to reformat the internal memory every time to get back that space. The obb folder is shown empty after i try to play the game and check it. There is nothing in it although i had put the game folder in it. But the space is still consumed. Can anybody help regarding this?
MINE IS A STOCK m8 UNROOTED.

Obvious question.
What is the game?
First with plants vs zombies..but then when it happened i tried more games..all seem to do it. They dont play and there is no obb data of the game in the obb folder after launching it.

Sorry, I'm struggling here. I understood from @ethan3686 that maybe due to location (India) he had a problem installing this.
Your post of how to install the apk and obb shows this is about how to install the cracked version. In the UK you can download the game from the playstore with no problem unless you want the full version for free.

Hello everyone.
Usually I can fix my Android problems myself or with a quick Google search but this time I couldn't find any working solution.
I've got a OnePlus 5T with Oxygen OS 10.0.0, unlocked bootloader and Magisk.
When I install big games, no matter if I download them from Play Store or I manually copy the game's folder in Android/Obb, everyone I reboot the phone every folder inside Android/Obb disappear but in Settings -> Apps some games still show their full size.
I hope you understand what my problem is. I have no idea what or why this is happening.
I had the same issue. only solution that worked for me was
Rename obb folder to OBB (all caps)
or delete your obb folder and create new OBB folder

Well, that seems to have done the trick. Games still detects obb files and they stick after a reboot. Weird behaviour nonetheless.
Thank you so much! I didn't think the solution, or workaround, would be so simple.
